WE print this morning liberal extracts
from the speech of Senator Morgan dellv-
cred on Saturday. At the suggestion of
Senator 1Ioar its completion was deferred
until to-day, in order that full Senate
should have an opportunity to listen to this
instructive and important speech.
Thanks to Senator Morgan the Monroe
doctrine is not yet dead, but sleepeth.
The people of the United States are In
favor Of this government taking fighting
interest in an interoceanc communication
by ship railway and by canal.
II the interstate commerce law is to bo
enforced, freights for the long haul will
exchange the rail for water transportation.
One hundred millions expended in con-
structing and improving interior water
ways, and shortening communication be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, is
now In order.
The least we can do Is to charter the
Tebuantepec ship railway and the Nicaragua
ship canal, and protect the harbors on
either shore with our guns.
There was time when the great east aud
west railways crossing the continent were
fostered by this government, but now
that the Canadian Pacific is con-
structed, and competing for the trans.
continental business, we prevent our roads
by law from competing with their north.
ern rival. Our fear is that II this Congress
gives a charter for a ship canal or ship
railway, they will insist that our manufac.
lures on the Atlantic coast and the tillers
of the soil on the Pacific coast shall pay for
the long haul price equal to an aggre-
cation Of the way freights.

Rev. DIR. Talmage.

Thousands Of our readers have been so
long accustomed to the perusal Of DR.. Tai

selves as virtually members of his congre-
cation. These will be pleased to learn
that the doctor will continue to preach
from his Brooklyn pulpit sin spite Of all
temptations" to go west. The Brooklyn
Union Of the 5th instant says:
It is not surprising that prosperous church
in Chicago should be anxious to secure the
services ofso successful q pastor and active

whose parish Is as large as this Erea. con.

and universal satisfaction that the popular
clergyman has made up his mind TO pass the
rest of his life in this fair city.
1t may be that Chicago is In more urgent
need than Brooklyn OF DIR. Talmage's efforts,
but we think he has acted wisely in declin-

UNDER the law of 1852, known as the
Edmunds anti'polygamy law, a commission
Of five members, who drew from the United
States treasury $1,000 year each, was
created to supervise elections In Utah.
This commission cost the government about
S65,C00 per annum, but it has had some
duties to perform in supervising the cleo
tion of approximately 1000 local officers
annually. Passing over the fact that Mr..
j. Randolph Tucker in 1889 vehemently
opposed the creation Of this commission,
the question to be explained is how the
party Of retrenchment had the nerve, in
face of its protestations, to pass Mr..
fuckers substitute for the Edmunds anti
polygamy bill, which continues this COM
mission in Office, and at the same time
practically abollshes all its duties. Instead
Of 1900 to be elected annually there are
left, by this substitute, but twenty-five to
be voted for biennially. AS the commission
draws SG5, 900 a year, it will cost the United
States at least 81 900 each to supervise the
election Of twenty-five men, the salary of
twenty-four of whom-the members OF the
legislature-is only $40 each, and that but
once in two years. Is this MI. fuckers

the mephitic atmosphere which gave for

was assisted by Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Carlisle,

with front Of pearl satin embroidered
In bronze and pink flowers. Miss Cullom
wore pretty dress of pale blue satin, draped
with black thread lace. She held lovely
bouquet of La France roses and lilies of the
valley. The rooms were very attractive, and
guests fingered long in the hospitable house.
Mrs. and Miss McGinnis, Of New York; Mrs.
Hit. Mrs. Copenhagen, Miss Murphy and
Miss Strong assisted Mrs. and Miss Cullom to
receive the guests. Miss Norholf and Miss

THE Rev. DR.. Newman's church was
densely crowded last night by the thought
ful and cultured people Of the city. Sena-
tors, representatives, and foreign ministers
graced the audience and hundreds were
compelled to turn away. Five lectures
have already been delivered and two more to
follow-"Evenine With the Prophets, or
Jerusalem and Her Sins, ""Turkey and the
Crescent, or the Outcome OF the Eastern
Question as Foretold by the Prophet"
Theselectures have strong neral tendency,
and inspire men to have faith in themselves
and their God. They are peculiarly i'm.
pressive and told forcibly, and In the tell
ing we lose sight Of the man In the elo.
quence and logic of the speaker, carrying

HI'ytili''&'
Here's au opportunity for
men whose business does
not demand that they
should dress in broadcloth.
We have a stack of ten-dol-
lar suits left on our count
ers. We imagined there
would be a greater demand
for suits at that price than
proved to be the case; it
was simply a mistake Of
ours-for which we are al
ways willing to stand the
loss. These most excellent
business suits were splendid
values at ten dollars and
lots Of 'em were sold at that
figure. What's left ofthem
now go at SEVEN DOL
LARS a suit. There are
some sixteen or seventeen
patterns remaining in both
sack and frock styles-they
are cut over the same pat
terms as our moro expen-
| sive garments. They are
made by the same hands.
They'll look well, wear well,
stand rough knocks, and
generally give good service
and SEVEN DOLLARS
is our price for them day.
We imagine a man in need
Of a decent business suit
can't well afford to let this
opportunity of providing
himself with a good enc at
such a low figure pass by.
Don't delay, then; at seven
dollars asuit there won't be
many left when the week
is over.

IT is fact established by positive and

SINGULAR, isn't it, that the party which
so loudly bewailed the absence of self
government, when it was out Of power,
can endure 1t so well now that 1t is in
power. The Tucker substitute for the Ed
munds auti-polygamy bill takes from the
people Of Utah all right Of local self gov
erDment, And in this instance 1t gives to
a Democratic governor patronage to the
extent Of some 2,400 appointments. Sup
posing there were Republican governor in
Utah, Mr., Tucker would, OF course, still
champion his views on self government.
